A little lengthy, but it's nice to remember our fallen new wave heroes (from about.com):

Benjamin Orr, co-founder, vocalist and bass player for the successful American New Wave band The Cars, passed away October 3, 2000, 10:50p.m. in his home in Atlant

I was driving home yesterday, and saw a car with the license plate "THECARS". New wave fan???

Or an auto collector?
Although I doubt it.
You shoulda pulled them over and been like "are you a nw fan?"

If they werent they would have only screamed and called the police.
